Even though we have been going through unprecedented times since the
outbreak of Covid 19 in early 2020, Sai Grace Trust CIO has managed to
stay afloat and has helped hundreds of people on many levels. Firstly,
the Chair Reverend Leonora van Gils has counselled many people over
the phone, during the months preceding the lockdown in UK and after.
In July of 2020, Sai Grace Trust opened its doors once again in the
Temple at Moat Hall, with just a few people attending for the safety of all.
In August, Sai Grace Trust was able to hold a mini retreat in the garden,
which was attended by a few people, singing and chanting for global
healing, as well as doing yoga and meditation.
In September, we had a couple of Memorial Services in Sai Grace
Temple, for members of families passed away.
In October, Reverend Leonora van Gils set up a YouTube channel,
recording prayers and meditations for the upliftment of people in need.|

On 1 January 2021, Sai Grace Trust held it’s first Zoom meeting and many artist from around the world, joined us in singing and praying for a healthy and prosperous 2021.

March 11, Sai Grace Trust held its’s 3rd Zoom Service for Maha Shivaratri Satsang. We had a team of International singers and musicians singing and playing for us, as well as reciting many holy mantras.
April 4, Sai Grace Trust held an Easter Service via Zoom. Again we were blessed with many International singers joining us, in-between each chapter of an unusual story that Reverend Leonora told about the life of Jesus. We had a huge response with over 1000 viewings and had a generous feedback of joy from many people.
On April 24, 2021 Sai Grace Trust held a Humble offering via Zoom for the 10th Anniversary of the Mahasamadhi of Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
